My specialties are in English and the Humanities, and I work best with high school-to-college level subjects. I live in Los Angeles and am willing to work anywhere within the LA area....

I don't plan to lean on a textbook and inundate students with something they might not be able to understand.

...With the life sciences, I emphasize overall understanding in place of rote memorization. With math, I stress practice to best develop critical thinking and problem solving techniques. These are general strategies that can be adapted to meet the unique learning style of each student. While not tutoring, I love to dance! Jazz and ballet are...
